While searching for cool skins for my Sims Life Stories game, I tripped across two of the prettiest, most lifelike Sims2 skins that I’ve every seen… And I’ve seen ALOT of Sims skins!

These are, unfortunately, too large for me to download on my Sims Life Stories game, but if I were running standard Sims 2, they would be a staple! They put the standard Maxis skins (and most of the other skins available) to shame!

My hubby picked me up a copy of Sims Life Stories for Valentines day, and I must admit I’ve really enjoying my new little Sims. As a long-time player of Sims and Sims 2 (I have had ALL the expansion packs), I’m still happy with this "toned down" version of the game. Why? Because it does something the other versions have never done…

EA Games has just announced a new mobile-friendly game, based on the famous Sims2 model. The company has announced three games, marketed under the umbrella of Sims Life Stories.

The first one is called Life Stories, is due out in February. The second, Life Stories Pets is due out this summer. The third is the one I most anticipate (probably because I’m such a huge “Lost” fan) called Castaway Stories.

Ok, I did it. While I was working on another computer, I converted the
Sims 2 Pets expansion pack to a virtual CD (using Virtual Drive 9.0).
Now, I have a great little smooth-running copy of Sims 2 Pets running
on my Tablet PC.

Wayne and I have decided to get that for Alexzandria for Christmas (Shhhhh! Don’t tell her!) to go with a computer that we are preparing for her holiday surprise… but I’m not sure I’m going to be able to wait on this particular expansion pack myself!

Government... WTF?

Organic Food Seized/Destroyed by Swat Team
So you think this country is just a little off-center? Take a peek at this! Organic and raw milk store has its stock destroyed, its money taken and its owner jailed on a $120K bond. Ahhh, the land of the free!

How bad is the debt?
Great breakdown of national debt, debt heaped on the heads of each citizen and every taxpayer, with additional fiscal figures of importance.

Keeping Secrets
Obama accepts award for openness in government — in secret. How ironic.

Big Brother Tells You Where You Can Sit in Public!
In Spokane, Washington, it’s against the law to sit on the sidewalk, according to a May 1, 2014 law. Keep it moving, or get a ticket! I’m sorry, what was the definition of freedom, again? I think I’ve forgotten…
